Checking inventory levels

You can configure the checkstock plugin program to run a nightly check on the number of inventory items available for provisioning. Inventory items are associated with templates and defined by item type and location. If inventory associated with a particular template falls below a certain level, Bravura Identity notifies the responsible inventory managers. If no inventory managers are set up, Bravura Identity emails the default administrator configured by the RECIPIENT EMAIL setting .

Set the CHECK INVENTORY PLUGIN option (Inventory > Options) to use checkstock.exe.

This program uses a simple configuration file to define the threshold for each template. The checkstock.cfg file is written in the format:

< templateID > < threshold >

For example:

id_ny 100
pda_inv 50
phone_ext 20

This means the inventory manager responsible for items associated with template id_ny is notified when stocks fall below 100.
